Brief Description:  Mid Fuselage - Position & Drill outboard seat rib

My outboard ribs are positioned and drilled. You can see the 0.032 space where the rib web sticks out past the skin. I had to flute the top rib of the outboard rib to help make this work out.

As a check I clecoed on the side skins and sure enough all the holes line up.

Next is to figure out the removable floor parts and drill all the holes.

**********************WARNING**************************************
LATE ENTRY MADE 9/3 when I'm preparing side skins for final riveting of fuselage.

DON'T enlarge the tooling hole in the outboard seat rib as indicated on drawing #22. Turns out there is a pilot hole in the side skin that you will enlarge later for the pitot tube and it is not in the exact same place as this hole. Just leave this hole alone and make your enlarged hole for pitot tube at the time you are drilling the side skins.
